Abstract
Copula functions have been extensively used in applied statistics, becoming a good alternative for modeling the dependence of multivariate data. Each copula function has a different dependence structure. An important issue in these applications is the choice of an appropriate copula function model for each one; thus common classical or Bayesian discrimination methods might not be appropriate for determining the best copula. Considering only the special case of bivariate data, we propose a procedure obtained from a recently introduced dependence measure for selecting an appropriate copula for the statistical data analyses.
期刊介绍:
The Colombian Journal of Statistics publishes original articles of theoretical, methodological and educational kind in any branch of Statistics. Purely theoretical papers should include illustration of the techniques presented with real data or at least simulation experiments in order to verify the usefulness of the contents presented. Informative articles of high quality methodologies or statistical techniques applied in different fields of knowledge are also considered. Only articles in English language are considered for publication.
The Editorial Committee assumes that the works submitted for evaluation
have not been previously published and are not being given simultaneously for publication elsewhere, and will not be without prior consent of the Committee, unless, as a result of the assessment, decides not publish in the journal. It is further assumed that when the authors deliver a document for publication in the Colombian Journal of Statistics, they know the above conditions and agree with them.
